BREAKING: Maryland football WR Tai Felton selected by the Minnesota Vikings in 3rd RD of '25 NFL Draft
The first Maryland football player came off the board on Friday night and it was the last selection of the third round. The Minnesota Vikings took WR Tai Felton with the 102nd pick in the draft. Felton will go to Minnesota and will get the chance to play with a great cast of characters.
Felton will play alongside Justin Jefferson -- arguably the best WR in the game right now -- and young phenom Jordan Addison. Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy is expected to start for the Vikings in 2025 and he could be throwing Felton's way.
